This m#ln I . len eoatemplat d aer al o IKts lights found that the companies were mspplyilg repair ns tal for the Missouri Pacific and Iron ountaln shops. where It is claimed by the strikem the new men are not sufalemtly skilled to make their maw tedal. A commitee from the Knights ailed upon the vleuprualdent of the 4U -g7-adt WIformed aim that na le ti ceammsed arishing repair ma_ teat Mth Miseeri Paeole and Iron Mountain companes their mes would be ordered out. The vices deu4t -'mpte thithesi two companies were among their best eustomers, and that they would continue as long as they were able to fill all of their orders.

This order wis 4 11a4 suit to the executive board, who Indorsed it, and the men struck.

The few strikers who were around at an early hoar had not much to say to reporters, but whispered conversations among themselves went to show that they appreciated the fact that yesterday might bring on a determined struggle as long as no force is brought to (bear by the sherifl. Everything may be conducted peaceably, but the intro dection of Pinkerton's men it is claim ed, may be the signal for bloodshed. A Fort Worth, Tex., special says: A Missouri Pacific freight train was wreeked some distance below this city Wednesday. Two rails had been torn ep and the engine and four cars left the track going over an embankment eighteen feet high, being completely demolished, Robert Barrett, the en gineer, had noticed something wrong oe the track but could not stop his trate. He reversed his engine and -the crash eame,h breaking his arm and burnlng him badly. The Ireman, John Barns, la the fall was caught be tween the cab of the engine and the eader, hise legs being fastened as in a rand it b llome t1-. before he be t= l t * was* feound elhat . leet alampetiql ever the lower listd wapatd ar the trunk Winw- ibe aeeu ry. His Ohanees fbr IUfe are alim. Sam Conder, the head brakeman, was also badly braised and severly shaken Internally. The men tei at Deaisoa where they were taken. It is known poeltively that Tear men left Alvarado before the die aster and have not been mseen lnee. 'Th; Sta has eared a re#ard of $800 for the arrest of any man engaged Ia the dastardly work. The railroad company supplemented this by offer' log $500 for each man caught who bad a hand in it. It is claimed by many that the strikers had a bhand in the outrage. The special train over the Lake Shore road contaoinig the deputy sheriffs and newspaper men bound for the yards at Fortysthird street made a stop at Thirty ninth street. Hete a committee of the striklakswitchmen waited on Buperinteedent Amesden and asked him to allew one of the men to go into the.-rear car and ad dress him. In Ieccordanee with the request Toadeodens got on the car and ao follows: " We want you men to hear our side of this matter. You have beard the company's side and yo ashould hear both sides. Come over to our hall and hear us, and If you dont want to go there fix some other place. Come out and talk it over; this is a question between capli tal and labor and the time has come that the conflict has to take this shape. We do not want to injure the compa. ny and its property, but we want our rights," Codens then left the car folb lowed by three of the imported switch men and the cars were surrounded by the strikers.

THE VALUE OF sMALL BIRDS. "Not asparrow falls to the ground," etc. We all know the quotation. But there is another sense in which we should look at it. Not a sparrow falls to the ground that we do not suffer an absolute pecuniary loss in cors quence That sparrow if allowed to live would have eaten a million eggs or larva of butterflies or moths, which left alone would have developed into worms, or caterpillars, or whatever you choose to cail them, and they in turn would have devoured enough vegetation to slpppst the lllof a man.
